Netflix on Kodi 19 on Ubuntu 20.04 fails to start a video

[djmills64]

All videos fail with the message:
Could not make the request. Your internet may be down...
After pressing No I then get
InputStream Helper has generated an internal error: NoneType oject has no attribute strip

It was working with release 18 of Kodi a few months ago. When I restarted this box just recently it wouldn't start. So I upgraded to 19 Matrix and upgraded all tyhe add-ons. I also installed kodi-inputstream-adaptive_19.0.0-1_focal_amd64.deb

The log shows

How can I fix?

Here we cannot fix errors of other addons like InputStream Helper
please report the problem to the right addon

Thanks for getting back to me. It decided to start working last night. I didn't make any change. Cheers, David.
